Strange Tales of Rules: I, the ultimate villain in horror

Climb this mountain and you will become a god!

"Gugu---"

Birds chirped in the early morning.

Compared with the deserted and lifeless hiking trail ahead, the end point seemed more alive.

In panic, Xu Hai woke up from his deep sleep and rubbed his eyes.

"Why did I fall asleep?"

Looking around when the fog dissipates, we can still see the 10000-step destination with piles of abandoned rubble.

Lin Mu slowly stood up leaning on the boulder.

Looking around, he found no trace of Su Wan. That girl...it was as if she had never appeared.

This made Xu Hai frown slightly.

Just when Xu Hai was about to think deeply, the early morning light suddenly shone with light, and dots of light shone on the notice board nearby and reflected into his eyes.

This actually made Xu Hai withdraw his attention and stared blankly at the non-existent mountain climbing notice board.

"It's strange... there shouldn't be this signboard yesterday."

Muttering to himself, Xu Hai walked slowly towards the place where the notice board was.

Tianshan mountain climbing notice board---

[Milestone: 10000 steps! 】

[Dear tourists, you have reached the end of the hiking trail. You can go back down the mountain or wait for the sightseeing bus that leaves every two hours to pick you up. 】

[[-]: Forest public welfare area, please do not carry fire on the mountain, beware of fire! 】

[[-]: The mountains and forests are dangerous, please do not leave the hiking trails. 】

[Three: The water depth is dangerous, please do not play near Tianchi. 】

[Four: If you don’t find the end point, don’t panic. You can call the ticket office of the scenic spot for help (0312-xxxxxxxx). We will arrange staff to go to the mountain for assistance. Please wait patiently for an hour. 】

[[-]: If you hear the staff shouting, please turn around and signal. 】

[Six: This is the end point of Tianshan Scenic Area. Due to the maintenance of the mountain temple, the scenic spot is temporarily closed. 】

Looking at this weird metal notice board, Xu Hai looked solemnly.

Carrying Tianchi water, he can avoid the contamination of mountain ghosts by drinking water, so now his thoughts are very clear! !

The first three warnings are identical to the previous signs.

You can ignore it here for now.

But starting from the fourth notice board, the warning is obviously wrong! !

Xu Hai remembered it very clearly.

He waited at the finish line for more than an hour, but the so-called staff on the sign did not arrive! !

Could it be that... only when the player reads all the notices can the plot of the arrival of the scenic area staff be triggered? !

This is currently unknown.

And number five, if you hear the staff shouting, please turn back and signal! !

Why look back?

What is the purpose of turning back!

Xu Hai did not forget... During the 10000 steps along the way, warnings not to look back appeared on many signboards! !

If you turn back, you will violate the most serious rule! !

Even if he carries a large amount of Tianchi water, there is no guarantee that making a mistake at this end will cause terrible deviations.

He dare not and cannot gamble! !

Therefore, this is an obvious error warning... If you have not drank Tianchi water, or if you do not carry enough Tianchi water, you may be disturbed by this error.

As for Article [-], this is the end of Tianshan Mountain, and the mountain temple is temporarily closed due to maintenance reasons! !

This seems extremely strange...

Xu Hai remembered that at the fork in the road, the leftmost road pointed to the mountain temple.

If the mountain temple is really in a state of repair, why is it necessary to hang out the road guide? Why does this warning emphasize that this is the end point?

What's more, the sign once mentioned it.

After summit.

There will be staff at the mountain temple's finish line to provide help. If this is really the finish line, then where have the so-called finish line staff gone?

"Perhaps, this is not the end!!"

A bold idea was brewing in Xu Hai's mind. This is not the end! !

The end point is the mountain temple! !

The strange memory that appeared in his mind yesterday made Xu Hai clearly remember that the destination was the mountain temple! !

Turn left at the fork in the road to truly reach the end! !

"Xu Hai?"

At this moment, a figure slowly came from behind him and shouted.

A wave of cold sweat suddenly swept over his body.

It was obviously under the early morning sunlight, but Xu Hai still felt extremely cold, as if he was in an absolute ice cave! !

'Can't look back! ! '

'Can't look back! ! '

Xu Hai resisted the physical and mental discomfort, did not look back, and ignored the shouts of the man behind him.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

Seeing that Xu Hai had no intention of looking back, the strange black shadow gradually dissipated on the hiking trail.

The chill dissipated, and Xu Hai breathed a sigh of relief.

But next second.

An unanswerable question appeared in Xu Hai's mind again.

He has reached the end of the 10000-step hiking trail. There is a dead end in front of him. How can he get to the mountain temple if he cannot turn back?

“I can only take a gamble!!”

Gritting his teeth, Xu Hai looked at the Tianchi water beside him with a gloomy expression.

Don't look back... Then if he walks backwards, he won't completely violate this rule, right?

After all, pollution is a progress bar.

If you go back directly, it will fill up the progress bar instantly, but going backwards is different.

It causes the progress bar to stretch slowly.

As long as the progress bar is full.

By using Tianchi water to alleviate the pollution, he should be able to smoothly return to the fork in the road and go to the final mountain temple! !

Thinking of this, Xu Hai did not hesitate.

"step."

Turning around, he returned in a backwards manner, and as soon as his back foot touched the ground, a violent feeling of terror surged over him instantly! !

Xu Hai's face turned pale. He quickly opened the Tianchi water and took a swig.

Only then did the paleness of his face dissipate.

"Two steps!"

Every time he takes a step back, Xu Hai needs to take a swig of water to avoid being polluted. It takes more than 800 steps to retreat to the fork in the road...

..................

in the live room.

This immersive feeling makes real-world viewers hold their hands tightly, as if they are Xu Hai in the painting.

Although he brought enough Tianchi water, it was not enough to support Xu Hai to complete the more than 800 steps!

He must think of another way! !

But......

This hiking trail ends here. There is a dead end ahead, and it is impossible to go straight...

How can we go back to the position 9200 steps ago?

"Xu Hai, continue!"

Just when everyone was deep in thought, Su Wan's voice suddenly sounded, and she threw a bottle of Tianchi water onto the hiking trail.

"Is it Su Wan?!"

"How did she leave the hiking trail? Did she find the right way to reach the top?"
